New subject: [Serusers] replication and rtpproxy

26 Feb 2004

Check out this method.

It's designed for HTTP requests, but I don't see any reason that it couldn't
be used for SER as well.

But this will work only if the client uses your DNS servers, because the 
DNS entries are cached by the other nameservers - or do you have a very 
short TTL configured?

I think also softclients will have problems as Windows XP by default 
caches the DNS lookups.

  Hi Klaus,

 We use DNS updates.  We have special scripts based on sipsak (Thanks Nils!),
...
  that check all SIP servers every minute.  If something
is wrong, then we
 update our DNS dynamically to point to another SIP Server.  If the UAs are
 unable to register then they redo their DNS query and find the new IP.
 Works quite well in combination with replication since the backup server has
...
  the exact duplicate location table.

 Regards,
 Andres

 Is it yet possible to build redundancy on top of
SRV? I tested some
clients (Xlite, Budgetone-100, Windows Messenger 4.7) wether they use
SRV records to locate the proxy and Messenger is the only one who uses it.

So, if I use these clients, is there any other failover solution than IP
takeover?
